Eid Al Fitr Expected for March 31
Rabat – Eid Al Fitr is expected to fall either on March 30 or March 31 around the world – varying based on astronomical predictions. The Islamic website Qatari Calendar House said March 31 is expected to be the first day of Eid Al Fitr, drawing its findings based on astronomical calculations. 'The crescent moon for this year's Shawaal (the 10th lunar month) will be born on the evening of Saturday, March 29 at 1:58 p..m. Doha local time,' The Peninsula Qatar said, citing forecasts by the Calendar House Executive Director Faisal Al Ansari. Meanwhile, the International Astronomy Center suggests that sighting the crescent moon for the month of Shawaal will not be possible on Saturday, March 29 in the UAE. Therefore, Eid Al Fitr is expected to begin on Monday, March 31. UAE celebrated the first day of Ramadan on March 1, unlike Morocco, which began fasting on March 2. Morocco's Ibrahim Akhyam, a researcher in the science of timekeeping and a member of the Islamic Moon Sighting Project, told Morocco World News (MWN) that Ramadan is unlikely to complete its 30 days in Morocco, noting that Eid Al Fitr will all be on March 31. Many countries are already gearing up for Eid, with markets bustling and concerts and events taking place around the world, including in the UAE. 'An eclectic line-up of music events is set to take place across the UAE in the week following Eid Al Fitr, featuring everything from pop concerts and high-profile club performances to children's musicals,' The National News reported. Some Muslim countries have announced a prolonged holiday, including Saudi Arabia, which set the vacation at four days. Considering weeks in Saudi Arabia fall on Friday and Saturday, people in the country will enjoy a six-day break. As for Morocco, if Eid falls on Monday, Moroccans can expect to have both Monday and Tuesday off. In the Muslim world, religious authorities are assigned to sight the crescent moon, based on which the official date for Eid is announced through the official channels, including Islamic ministries. Whether Eid falls on Sunday or Monday, Muslim communities are united in anticipation and celebration in these last days of Ramadan 2025. Tags: eid al fitr celebrations
